Double-transformation: I, Sakura Haruno! Will crush the pirates!

"Speaking of which, I have a pretty good idea. How about we call it 'The Overbearing Pirate Falls in Love with Me'?"

He raised his hand and combed his hair, then grinned and slowly walked towards Sakura.

"Twisting will, manipulating the mind, what a vile ability."

With a solemn expression, Sakura raised her hand and held the axe behind her back. Dark lightning burst forth from the girl, causing the earth to tremble and the storm to roar.

Pure killing intent converged, transforming into a powerful and domineering aura that gathered on the axe blade, causing it to emit a heart-shaking roar.

"That's a terrifying display of dominance, but what good is it? You can't do anything right now!"

"Humans are ultimately puppets of their emotions; obediently become my playthings!"

With his eyebrows raised, Onga reached out and tore through the air, sending a pink arrow piercing into Sakura's body regardless of distance.

The ability to control her emotions amplified her indescribable desires dozens of times, turning her into a beast that only knew how to mate.

—Awakening: Arrow of Love.

"Hahaha, come on, my love!"

Onga opened his arms, waiting for the girl to throw herself into his embrace.

Candles, whips, and legendary pirates... what a perfect combination!

Unfortunately, the scene he envisioned did not appear; instead, the legendary spear, already fully charged, awaited him ahead.

"No...wait, why?"

Pain filled the man's face, and he subconsciously unleashed even more arrows of love, piercing the girl's heart like a thousand arrows.

In the end, all he received was a loud roar in response to his manipulation of people's hearts.

"Puppet? How could a clown like you, so preoccupied with domination, possibly understand the unparalleled power of the will of those who yearn for freedom!"

In that instant, Sakura took a step.

He swung his giant axe at the abominable thing before him.

—The Spear of Elbaf, the Mighty Nation!

A high-pitched voice burst forth at this moment, intense light intertwined, and the cries of will overlapped in one place.

The massive shockwave ravaged the earth, spiraling and covering everything visible to the naked eye in Onga.

In the final moment before he was swallowed by the radiance, a flash of inspiration struck his mind.

Wait, could that guy be Yu?

Chapter 167 The Awakening of the Mythical Beast!

"what?"

The sea serpent, which had already walked away, turned back in surprise.

The spear, forged from furious rage and a defiant will, roared forth, tearing a hideous scar across the sea amidst the raging storm.

With its Observation Haki spreading, the sea serpent 'witnessed' that half of Onga's body on the battlefield had been shattered.

With its remaining leg unable to support it, it collapsed to the ground, blood spreading across the grayish-white frozen soil.

Sakura Haruno raised her eyes, her emerald green pupils staring indifferently at the sea serpent: "Your turn!"

"Damn it!"

In the dim light of the setting sun, the sea serpent's figure twisted and its outline began to break apart.

Amidst the spreading and raging poison, a ferocious monster from mythology rose up and roared to the sky.

Snake-Snake Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Hydra Mode.

This fruit was bestowed by the world's nobles upon the most outstanding talents within their strongest shields, as a reward for their loyalty.

The sea serpent that ate this fruit not only gained the wild power and powerful regenerative abilities unique to Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, but also acquired the unique mythical beast abilities of Hydra—poison and regeneration.

The sea serpent's body can freely produce various fantasy toxins, which helps him become the most suitable agent in the entire CP0 to carry out assassination work.

Together with their subordinate Onga's Emotion Fruit, which grants him the ability to detect, sense, and manipulate emotions, the two can be considered the strongest assassination team.

No matter what the task is, they should be able to handle it easily.

That's how it should have been...

"What have you done to my men?!"

The giant serpent's eyes burned crimson, and it opened its massive jaws to lunge at Sakura.

The enormous body that stirred up the ocean tides crashed down. Compared to it, Sakura was nothing more than a small boat in the raging waves, unable to withstand the huge shadow that loomed over her.

A foul stench wafted over, and the flying saliva carried an unknown toxin. The snake's fangs were enveloped in flowing Armament Haki.

Once bitten, you'll face not only the internal damage caused by Armament Haki, but also the toxins mixed in and bursting forth.

"Jaw - Wild Devour!"

Facing the giant serpent, Sakura took a deep breath and exhaled icy mist.

As his heart pounded wildly, boiling Yang Release chakra surged through his meridians, and the emanating light and flames combined with the surrounding ice particles to create a fluorescent glow.

Chakra and power pulsed and merged, and the ferocious beast head on the icy plain suddenly opened its eyes and roared from the joy of rebirth.

"I love enemies with your big size! Tear him apart!"

At the girl's command, the figures of giant ice beasts rose up amidst the wind and snow.

Undeterred by the venom, the ninja creation pierced through the sea serpent's prized poison, biting into its body and violently tearing numerous wounds into its shell with sheer force.

"Roar!"

In pain, the sea serpent flipped and tilted, using its massive body to shake off the ice beast, and then crushed towards Sakura below.

"Well done!"

Sakura leaped into the air, her fingers gripping the ice axe, unleashing a storm of powerful slashes.

Clang——!

The slash traversed a vast distance, drawing a ferocious arc in the void, instantly severing Hydra's four serpent heads.

"Damn pirates!"

The excruciating pain brought the sea serpent back to some of its senses, and the crimson color in its pupils gradually faded.

The Mythical Zoan Hydra's regenerative ability is activated, and a brand new head grows from the smooth break.

The snake heads beneath the ground also transformed into highly toxic pus, spreading and polluting the earth, forming a putrid and poisonous area.

In just over ten minutes, the battle had turned this coastline of Dong Island into a desolate wasteland.

"Tsk, we can't fight on the shore anymore!"

Sakura's body jolted suddenly, and she took a step forward.

The Hydra's gaping maw snapped down, but only managed to crush the lingering shadow in the air.

"Paper Painting: Lingering Shadows!"

With a light touch of her toes on the ground, Sakura was already standing beneath the giant snake.

Make a fist with your left hand, extend it straight down, and press it down. Turn your right fist back and bring it to your waist and abdomen.

Her burning will gathered into a terrifying aura that coiled around her fist tip, and she grasped the chilling current in her hand, forming a piercingly cold ice ball.

"Fishman Karate - Ultimate Technique - Budaikan!!!"

Sakura threw a punch, and the ice ball formed from the cold current was forcefully stuffed into the Hydra's scales.

The next instant, wrinkles spread outward from the scales at the point of contact until the shockwave passed through the entire body of the Hydra.

The violent force propelled the mountain-sized behemoth into the air before it crashed violently into the sea.

The moment it touched the seawater, the freezing air that had been injected into the Hydra's body began to freeze the sea.

Sharp ice crystals grow from the sea surface, turning into clusters of azure crystals that remain in place.

It can crystallize and be quickly covered and enveloped by snow powder, turning the sea for dozens of miles around into a snow country.

All nine snake heads were raised high, their vertical pupils turning white as their consciousness gradually drifted away from him.

'No, we can't keep playing like this! We'll lose!'

Realizing that its attack method was wrong, the sea serpent began to shrink rapidly.

Its body, which was originally snake-like, grew hands and feet, covered in scales and with sharp claws and teeth.

The necks beneath the nine heads contracted and thinned, but still wriggled and twisted in a knotted manner.

"Wow...so ugly."

Sakura, who jumped from the shore onto the ice, saw the sea serpent's human-animal form and couldn't help but make a comment.

Enraged, the sea serpent yelled at her, "Mind your own business!"

At this moment, he had decided to use his ultimate trump card and kill the pirate in front of him at all costs.

Raising its scale-covered arm, the sea serpent bared its sharp fangs and took a bite.

The toxins, which had been modified to exploit the body's and mind's potential in a short period of time, were injected into the sea serpent's blood vessels, and its heart began to beat rapidly.

"cough!"

He coughed up fresh blood from his mouth and nose, and at the same time, emerald green flames ignited.

A winding, floating cloud of flame rose from his wrist and trembled behind him.

—Mythical Zoan Hydra Mode Awakening!

"Hey, you actually had a trick up your sleeve?"

Sakura tentatively tapped her toe, and four or five icicles rose from the ground.

However, just as the spikes were about to pierce the sea serpent's body, they inexplicably melted into a puddle of boiling water, splashing onto the ground and making a sizzling sound.

"Has the fruit awakened...?"

Sakura frowned, pondering the information.

When a person with an ability is in harmony with their mind and body, they will awaken, and in this state, their ability will undergo a transformation.

Judging from the other party's behavior just now, it seems to be an awakening of the material change type.

The effect should be... to forcibly transform substances around the body into toxins?

"Guessed it right!"

A fleeting glimmer of light appeared before Sakura, and a demonic figure raised its fist and swung it forcefully at her.

Having received an advance warning from her Observation Haki, she crossed her arms in front of her, and ice armor quickly covered her arms, with Armament Haki wrapping around her inner sides to form transparent armor.

boom!

Sakura felt a tremendous force as her fist slammed into the shield, propelling her and leaving a long trail on the ground.

By the time she stopped, the armor on her arms had been completely shattered by the opponent's domineering aura, which could destroy from the inside.

"Hahaha, this is how you fight!"

Sakura was about to get up when suddenly everything went black, and she knelt on one knee.

Her body was rapidly weakening and mutating, and even her high fighting spirit was unconsciously mixed with a trace of retreat and panic.

Looking down, she saw that a dark green tinge was spreading across her arms.

Raising an eyebrow, she quickly realized the reason and muttered to herself, "You can even let your domineering aura carry poison...?"

Chapter 168 This is how we ability users are!

"Your world government always seems to prefer the ability to undermine people's will."

Sakura took out a kunai from her ninja tool pouch and, without the slightest hesitation, slashed open the poisoned areas on her arms.

The Yang Release chakra spread from the meridians to the muscles and bones, and the Fine Extraction Technique dissolved the poison little by little into the blood, finally squeezing it out of the arms.

"Foolish argument! The purpose of the central authority is to maintain order. The thoughts of you rebels will only disrupt stability, causing the seas to churn and countless ordinary people to lose their lives!"
